Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bitches.

Look, you knew this was coming: Watch All the Inception Dream Levels in Real Time. Pretty neat, though not all that enlightening. It's most cool to watch the MILLION things going on in the dream levels while poor Yusuf is stuck driving the fucking van.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I felt so bad for Yusuf. I do not feel bad for me, because I HAVE MY INCEPTION COMBO-PACK!! Whee!!

I just watched The Expendables. Damn, that movie took itself way too seriously. The Stallone/Statham buddy mercenary show was fun, though, and there were a lot of great action scenes and crazy explosions, but they existed in this pointless vacuum of a movie.

I rank the three summer movies about teams of mercenaries getting betrayed and blowing shit up thusly:

1. The Losers
2. The A-Team
3. The Expendables

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't seen The Expendables but I will make shit up and agree with you anyway, P-C.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

my comment after watching The Expendables was that there was too much "acting" in it. those guys aren't known for their acting chops. they're known for kicking the crap out of people and blowing shit up. that's why we're watching!

And the thing is, all the stylistic choices were All About The Fun. Music? Fun. Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2 -fu as a tattoo artist? Fun. Alllll those lovely motorcycles? Fun.

I also felt bad for Charisma, who just got to pace and look concerned with her hair blowing about.
